The Opawole and Daniel families mourn the passing of their beloved matriarch, Chief Mrs. Sabainah Ibironke Opawole, née Osoba, who died peacefully after a brief illness on Thursday 2nd of July, 2026 at the age of 93.

Osoba of Olodo Village, Abeokuta, the late Princess Sabainah lived a long and graceful life anchored in faith. She was a devoted Christian of the Baptist denomination until her passing, and her life stood as a quiet testament to devotion, family, and enduring values.
She is survived by several children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, including Her Excellency Yeye Olufunke Daniel, former First Lady of Ogun State and wife of Otunba Senator Gbenga Daniel. Her passing has drawn an outpouring of condolences from family, friends, and associates across Ogun State and beyond, many of whom remember her as a woman of grace, strength, and unshaken faith.
The family has confirmed that funeral arrangements will be announced publicly in due course, and has appealed for prayers and understanding as they navigate this period of loss.
